‘He’s what Arsenal have been praying for’ – Twitter praises new Gunner after League cup show

Granit Xhaka is gradually becoming an instant favourite in north London only months into his Arsenal career.

The 23-year-old opted to give up his role as captain of Borussia Moenchengladbach to sign for Arsenal before the beginning of Euro 2016.

Xhaka’s decision to become a Gunner is proving to be a very good one in the eyes of fans who have witnessed the Switzerland international open his account for his new club with a pair of stunning goals in just four days.

Despite being kept on the bench by Arsene Wenger to the surprise of many, the midfielder has proven to be one of the shining stars of Arsenal’s season so far after scoring with the same sort of brilliant effort against Hull City and at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
